Only when I'm driving and stuck in traffic. I listen to Tom Leykis for amusement. As for Howard Stern, I prefer to watch his show.

Talk is the only thing left worth listening to on radio.
99.999999% of the music on traditional radio is absolute crap.

The only talk radio I listen to is Coast to Coast AM. I get a kick out of some of the nutjobs that come on there, its usualy a good laugh before going to sleep.
Though last night I listend to Matt Drudge for a while before sleeping, because CtC wasn't on yet. Not a bad program.

AFAIK news != talk

talk = pointless, "witty," often classless babbling
news = informative, cut and dry, direct and purposeful

By that definition "Nay" to "talk" radio.

I listen to WJR in the morning to catch up on local news and Paul W's show is so scheduled you can tell the time just by what they are talking about (weather/traffic/etc).

I listen to Bob and Tom on the way to work just 'cause I usually find them funny.

Other than that, I "surf" looking for music that I like.
